Many dark and dreary days have gone and passed me bySince you took my heart and dashed it to the groundMany long and lonely nights I'd lie and wonder whyYou could take your love and spread it all around

And that's the bread that you cast upon the watersDoing all the heartless things you swore you'd never doAnd the bread that you cast upon the watersWill come floating back to you

So you keep right on a dancing underneath them neon lightsBut you'll find out the piper must be paidAnd you'll find out just how it feels to reach out in the nightAnd feel the one you reach for, turn away

And that's the bread that you cast upon the watersDoing all the heartless things you swore you'd never doAnd the bread that you cast upon the watersWill come floating back to you

Many dark and dreary days you'll look up at the skyAnd wonder where did all your sunshine goAnd many long and lonely nights you'll lie and wonder whyYou once had a love like mine and you let it go

And that's the bread that you cast upon the watersDoing all the heartless things you swore you'd never doAnd the bread that you cast upon the watersWill come floating back to you...........
